I love collecting paint chips!!! I always go a bit crazy when I go to a hardware store. I think of ways of recycling them and making something neat out of them!! So here are my attempts. A co-worker had a birthday so I wanted to make streamers to hang over her desk.
MATERIALS::
- Fishing wire or ribbon
- Tape
- Paint chips : 2 of each color or if you want to fold them then you only need one {FREE!!!}
I proceeded to tape one paint chip to the fishing wire and backed the matching color to it.
That is it... easy, fun and SO pretty!

I also used different sizes and folded some of them.
Rachel and I love pennants so I decided to make one!
Next time you are party planning... make sure you stop by your nearest
hardware store for some paint chips!!!

what a creative idea! I always find myself so distracted by the paint chip area at the hardware store, and this is a fun reason to stash some in my purse next time!
